This page is currently under
construction and will ultimately contain a description and chronology of the heroic efforts made by those who took part in the Siege & Battle.
The Official RAF website has been
promising a Timeline of the Siege & Battle for a couple of years now, hopefully we will beat them to it! |

The history of 4FTS on the official

Published 26 November 2002, this is an account of the Siege & Battle from
the official report produced at the time. It is not a full and complete account but does contain much which has not previously been published. There are also details of the aircraft involved and the losses sustained. |
|
Mike Skeet's excellently researched site detailing, for the first time,
the part played by the 3 Vickers Valentias in the preparation, conduct and
aftermath of the Siege & Battle. It also gives a poignant account of his father, Flt Lt Maurice Skeet, OC Communications Flight at the time. |

Gaby Gewarkis Levy Site.

|
This is a highly detailed account of the Siege & Battle with particular
emphasis on the ground operations by the Levies. Most of the Levy operations were carried out in conjunction with the Kings Own Royal Regiment and No 1 Company RAF Armoured Cars so there is therefore a lot of detail of their activities as well. Brilliant! |
